15. Daily maintenance and care
Cleaning and storage
• If there are stains on the body of the electric scooter, wipe them off with a damp cloth. If
stains persist, put toothpaste on them, brush with a toothbrush, then wipe with a damp cloth.
If there are scratches on the plastic components, use sandpaper or other abrasive material to
remove them. Note: do not clean the electric scooter with alcohol, petrol, kerosene or other
corrosive and volatile chemical solvents, to avoid serious damage. Do not wash the electric
scooter with high-pressure water jets. When cleaning the electric scooter, make sure it is
turned off, the charging cable is disconnected, and the rubber cap closed, as a water leak
could cause an electric shock or other serious problems. When the electric scooter is not
in use, store it indoors in a cool, dry place. Do not store it outdoors for an extended period
of time. Excessive sunlight, overheating, and excessive cold accelerate tyre ageing and
compromise the life of both the electric scooter and the battery.
• Check the brakes and make sure they are adjusted correctly.
• Check the tyre pressures (see the side of the tyre for the recommended value)
1. Do not use batteries of other models or brands, as they may pose a safety risk.
2. Do not dismantle, crush, or puncture the scooter. Do not touch the battery contacts.
Do not dismantle or puncture the outer casing. Avoid bringing the scooter into contact with
water or fire and do not expose it to temperatures exceeding 50°C (including heat sources
such as stoves, heaters, etc.). Avoid contact between metal objects and battery terminals to
prevent short circuits, physical harm, or death.
3. Water seeping into the battery can cause damage to internal circuits and could cause a fire
or explosion. If there is any suspicion that water may have entered the battery, stop using the
battery immediately and return it to your dealer's after-sales service for checking.
4. Use only the original charger to avoid potential damage or fire.
5. Improper disposal of used batteries seriously pollutes the environment. Follow local
regulations regarding battery disposal. Follow battery disposal regulations to protect the
environment.
6. After each use, fully recharge the battery to extend its useful life. Do not store the battery
in an environment where the temperature is above 50°C or below -20°C (for example, do not
leave the electric scooter or battery in a car in direct sunlight for an extended period of time).
Do not throw the battery into a fire as this could lead to a malfunction, overheating, or even
an extended fire. If you do not intend to use the scooter for more than 30 days, recharge the
battery to 50/60% and store it in a cool, dry place. Remember to recharge it every 60 days to
protect it from any damage, which would void the limited warranty. Always recharge the battery
before it is flat, to extend its useful life.
